“Gathering of All Tribes, Quickening of the Spirit” -- Robert Lester, Guest Speaker

Robert Lester’s native background is Ojibway/Huron and his understanding of traditional medicine culture gives a unique and powerful perspective. He also has background as a corporate communications specialist and teacher trainer. The One People Foundation, recently formed by Robert, has as its cornerstone universal civility and respect.   As told to Robert  by an Elder, "There will be a time of the Gathering.”  People of many different backgrounds and sources will meet and begin to recognize each other as family and tribe. This 'Gathering'  will be unlike anything in history.  It will not recognize similarity of skin color, personal conditions or need.  It will recognize the affinity of the quality of Spirit. This Gathering of the Tribes is happening now and with it a Quickening of the Spirit is being felt by many.  Robert will discuss solid ways of how people can connect. We gather from the most diverse, through a fire of recognition and from that we ignite the spirit unity of our families and our tribes.
